Favourite book with a twist…

[littlepeas]

No spoilers! Although I suppose saying there is a big twist is a bit of a spoiler in itself.

Mine is Sophie’s World. My dd is reading it at the moment and I can’t wait for her to get to it!

Expecting lots of people to say Fingersmith! That was a good one too.

Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. One of Sarah Waters' favourite authors.

Gone girl by Gillian Flynn

Before I go to sleep by SJ Watson , possibly more of a dawning realisation than an instant twist

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, Karen Joy Fowler. Though the ‘twist’ comes long before the end. Made me sad 😞

Just started Good Girl. Enjoying it so far :)

Affinity by Sarah Waters (and Fingersmith obviously)

Also A Fatal Inversion and A Dark-Adapted Eye by Barbara Vine

The Burning Air by Erin Kelly. Breathtaking twist.

The Midwife by Tricia Cresswell. I knew something was coming but didn't guess what.

A God in Ruins, by Kate Atkinson.

Nothing will ever beat The Murder of Roger Ackroyd in my opinion. Agatha Christie laid all other twists out with that one!

Ooh most Jodi picoult books!!

I remember the first time I read Fingersmith. It was after midnight & I had work the next day, so I decided to finish the chapter I was on & then go to sleep.

But it was that chapter.

The next day involved a lot of coffee.

The other side of midnight by Sidney Sheldon

Ditto this, could hardly bear the end, but was so good

Gillespie and I by Jane Harris

Perfect Strangers by JT Geissinger

The Expendable Man - Dorothy B. Hughes. A whopping great twist that you just don’t see coming.

YES! Absolutely loved this book.

Devotion by Hannah Kent

For one charcter, Handful Of Dust takes a very surprising turn late on.

So glad to see others mentioning Fingersmith! That twist stayed with me for AGES.
